Ricky, Glacier Heli-hike
A great day out on the glacier. We learnt a lot of alpine skills from Jules. The scenic and blue sky were awesome. Thank you for organising a fruitful and safe glacier hiking.

’I learnt so much from [Our guide], who was an amazing guide and teacher. [She] created a supportive and safe learning environment and she was so keen to share her knowledge with us. Now I‘m so stoked to expand on my avy knowledge and develop my backcountry skills in the future.’
‘10/10. [Out Guide] delivered the course extremely well and catered to our skill level perfectly. We achieved a great balance of practical training, theory, and some fun skiing. Avalanche Awareness and Practical Training. Best bits were the tips and tricks provided for skinning.’Â
'Incredible experience getting to ride in a helicopter right to the top of a mountain and ski untouched snow all day! Tim was an amazing guide and was very knowledgeable about the area, and the helicopter organization was seamless and very well run. Highly recommend taking a day out ski touring with Wanaka Mountain Guides!'
'The recommendation for the Remarkables as a day trip during our time in Queenstown was absolutely perfect, definitely a highlight of our month-long trip to New Zealand. We really enjoyed climbing and chatting with [our guide]and were super grateful for a chill day in the mountains with some epic views!'
I just wanted to thank you for organising such an epic week. [Our guide for the Summer Mountaineering Course] was fantastic. We learnt so much and felt challenged in a good way, whilst feeling extremely safe and reassured that we were learning best practice methods. He also made an effort to tailor the trip to our goals which made us feel really valued. Food was also a little concern for us as we don't eat meat but the meals were super delicious and there was plenty of food! We're off to the remarks this weekend (on easy terrain) to practice our new rope skills.
'[It is great] how accessible you have made the training and skiing to everyone. Your guiding is very thoughtful, personalized, and assertive at the right amount in the moment. Thank you'
[Our guide] was really friendly and helpful, great knowledge and with good stories to help solidify the understanding. I learned so much and have some basic skills and knowledge. I realize how much more there is to learn. He delivered a huge breadth of knowledge in a short time, and it was still totally digestible and not overwhelming.
Exellent teachers and guides with a wealth of knowledge about your subjects
Excellent. Fit, extremely speedy, experienced, very friendly and helpful, heart in the right place, straight and very clear minded. The best guide that I have had.
Had an amazing trip with these guys. Tim was incredibly helpful and responsive with organising the trip. I did the grand traverse in March. Jules was my guide and he was fantastic. You can tell how much he enjoys guiding people. We moved through the day at a good pace. Safety was excellent. Thanks guys for a great day and lots of memories
It was an excellent day and really lived up to the hype. Both guides were experienced and very technically proficient so it meant that everything went smoothly. There was also some quality kiwi vs aussie banter which was entertaining. I'll definitely be back for more mountain adventures!
